Activity process
- Short story introduction 6-year-old Xiao Ming likes to drink milk because his parents say that milk is good for the body. Xiao Ming grew up drinking milk powder when he was a child. But today, after Xiao Ming drank a bottle of pure milk, he asked his mother for another one. In the end, he couldn’t finish it, so he said, “I don’t want to drink it anymore.” His mother said, “Good boy, we can’t waste food. We can eat it next time.” Just drink as much as you like, don’t drink it all.” Dad looked at it and said to Xiao Ming, “Do you want to know where the milk comes from?” “I want to know!” Xiao Ming replied. Dad said: “Okay, let me tell you a wonderful journey of milk!”
“The little cow lives on the vast grassland, grazing freely and working hard to grow up. When it grows up, the milking worker comes to squeeze out heavy milk for it. The milked milk is transported to the factory, The staff uses special equipment to sterilize and disinfect, and then proceeds to processing, such as processing into yogurt/strawberry milk/sweet milk/peanut milk, etc. Next, the milk is put into new clothes, which is classified and packaged. After being packaged in the same way, the milk is finally shipped out of the factory and transported by truck drivers to various sales locations and distribution stations for distribution and sale. Then customers can buy fresh and commercial milk.
In this process, the young cows, milking workers, factory workers, truck drivers, sales staff, and milk delivery workers work hard so that we can drink milk smoothly. If any step is not completed, we will not be able to drink it. Milk is delicious and available for sale, so don’t waste it. “
After hearing about the wonderful journey of milk, Xiao Ming said: “So this is how the milk I drink comes from! I really want to participate in this process, so that I will never waste food again!”
